n I add they were each of them of strong Christian faith. Permit me to quote the words of two distinguished men who knew Jefferson Davis most intimately in official as well as private life: Standing here by his open grave, and in all probability not far from my own, said George Davis, of North Carolina, Attorney-General of the Confederacy, I declare to you that he was the most honest, truest, gentlest, tenderest, manliest man I ever knew. I knew Jefferson Davis as I knew few men, said Benjamin Hill, Georgia's great senator. I have been near him in his public duties; I have seen him by his private fireside; I have witnessed his humble devotions, and I challenge the judgment of history when I say no people were ever led through the fiery struggle for liberty by a nobler, truer patriot, while the carnage of war and the trials of public life never revealed a purer or more beautiful Christian character. Jefferson Davis stood the test of true greatness, he was the greatest to those w

n. Forget? Never! In prison at Fort Monroe. Singularly enough, however, it was after the war was over that the events occurred which endeared Mr. Davis most to the Southern people. I allude, first of all, to his long imprisonment at Fortress Monroe; the clumsy cruelty of putting the distinguished captive in irons, thrilled the South like an electric shock. It would be painful now, and humiliating, I venture to say, to Americans everywhere, to dwell upon the unhappy details of his conf Colonel Robert M., 184. Mechanicsville, Battle of, 329.

hip went down. Brave, unconquerable old man! Enshrined in our affections. I question whether any other man ever received the popular demonstrations of affection which attended Mr. Davis. No sovereign in the height of his power ever witnessed the overwhelming manifestations of devotion and reverence which the presence of this aged and powerless man evoked. When he was released from trial, thousands of the citizens of Richmond stood with bare heads in silence as he passed. It was at Atlanta, at the unveiling of the Hill monument, that Henry Grady proclaimed him the uncrowned king of all our hearts, amid an outburst of enthusiasm, which must have repaid him for years of suffering. It is said that seven cities claim the birth of Homer, dead; but seven States contested for the honor to be the burial-place of Jefferson Davis. On the day of his funeral services were held for him all over the South. Grady said: Government will not render to him the pomp and circumstance of a gre
